Tonga earthquake: Islands hit by huge 6.2 magnitude tremor after volcano eruption

A 6.2-magnitude earthquake has struck Tonga just two weeks after the country was rocked by a huge volcanic eruption.

The United States Geological Survey recorded the tremor at a depth of 14.5km around 136 miles west-northwest of the village of Pangai, in Tonga's Ha'apai islands.

The country is still recovering from the Hunga Tonga–Hunga Ha'apai volcano eruption on January 15, which was more powerful than the atomic bomb that hit Hiroshima, Japan.
